The WORKS - Gourmet Burger Bistro

Seven
different patty options and over 50 gourmet burger variations. Sound enticing? If so, The WORKS Gourmet Burger Bistro has you covered
for the ultimate burger experience!

The WORKS is
known for their creative topping combinations, which bring curiosity to one's
palette in imagining what a burger topped with grilled pineapple, a sweet/spicy
sauce and brie cheese would taste like. They call this one the ‘Crappy Tire’
(Canadian Tire dollars accepted). Or what about the Elk on a Beech? A lean elk patty topped with avocado, beech
house sauce, sundried tomato and feta cheese. The variations are endless and if
you can’t decide on one of the 50 combinations, you can opt out to be boring
and create your own gourmet burger by picking one of the seven different
patties (100% fresh Canadian beef, cheese stuffed beef, chicken breast, ground
turkey, gourmet veggie, portobello mushroom, and lean domestic elk) and then
adding your desired toppings.

Aside from
the gourmet burgers, The WORKS features a full menu of appetizers, sandwiches,
salads, shakes, alcohol and gluten-free options.

The WORKS is
currently featuring their ‘Stuff’d’ menu, which surpasses their current
selection of interesting toppings! The three limited time burgers are not only
topped with toppings, but the insides are also stuff’d with them. These unique
burger creations are for the ultimate foodie who is looking for variety and
extreme flavour. If anyone can even finish their stuff’d burger, I bow down to
your amazing eating abilities. The featured burgers this time around are: The
Loaded Lucy, the Reese PBC, and the Burgeroni.

I really
enjoyed The Tot Mess because of the cheese sauce...Anything deep fried and
covered in cheese is guaranteed deliciousness! The Loaded Lucy was definitely fully loaded with regular burger toppings
on the patty and melted cheese inside.
It was really messy and heavy, but the gooey cheese inside was
addictive. This is a good burger to share with someone.The Reese PBC was ordered out of curiosity as I don’t think it is
something that would interest me otherwise. It was definitely odd taking a bite
out of a big juicy beef burger and having melted chocolate and PB seeping into
my mouth. I didn't hate it, but I didn’t love it; it was just unusual, but I
would suggest trying it out! The Tower-O-Rings were some of the best I’ve had. Crispy and crunchy and served with two delicious dipping sauces. I do regret not trying a burger off
of their everyday menu, but I can always go back for that. The important thing
is that The WORKS burgers are 100% AAA Canadian beef, hand-pressed daily and
really tasty!
